Possibly the worst recruitment process i have ever experienced. The emails were extremely unprofessional, with no content, titled 'Hi from FTI' asking me to set up interviews with no proposed dates or named stakeholders. At times, i had to chase multiple times before any response to set up a following interview. After a lengthy process and difficult communication, and interviewing with 7 different stakeholders, a generic email was given, with no feedback. Based on this experience, i would not have taken a job at FTI.

I had five rounds with a case study and three rounds with team members. One was technical and the other two were more on the behavioral side. All the interviews were very conversational.

I applied for the role of Senior Consultant, Public Affairs - Healthcare and Life Sciences near the end of March. 3 days later, I got an email to conduct a 30-minute screening call which was scheduled a few days later. The recruiter was nice and asked typical questions like "Why this role?" I heard back that same day that I moved on to the next round with the Managing Director, which was scheduled a few days later (still end of March). She was very informative and asked a lot of follow-up questions to my answers for her questions ("How would you build out communications for policy leaders?" "What is your preferred work environment?" "What is your experience with writing different types of content?"). A few days later (early April), I was told I made it to the next round with another Managing Director. That interview was scheduled shortly after and I was basically asked the same questions in my first interview. The interviewer this time was very informal and casual. I had to wait around 2 weeks (with me sending weekly follow-up emails) as the hiring team was in out and out of the office. I finally got a rejection email after I sent my last follow-up email. So while the process moved fast, the wait because of the vacations people took added to the length of the process.
